Which expression equals the fraction of the square that is shaded dark blue?

To find which expression equals the fraction of the square that is shaded dark blue, we’ll evaluate each option step by step.

1. 1/2 + 2/6:

First, convert 2/6 to a simpler form: 2/6 = 1/3.

Now, we’ll add:

( frac{1}{2} + frac{1}{3} = frac{3}{6} + frac{2}{6} = frac{5}{6} ).

2. 1/2 × 2/3:

Now for multiplication:

( frac{1}{2} times frac{2}{3} = frac{1 times 2}{2 times 3} = frac{2}{6} = frac{1}{3} ).

3. 2/3 + 1/2:

First, find a common denominator, which is 6:

( frac{2}{3} = frac{4}{6} ) and ( frac{1}{2} = frac{3}{6} ).

Now, add:

( frac{4}{6} + frac{3}{6} = frac{7}{6} ).

From this evaluation, the final fractions evaluated are:

– ( frac
